I’ve seen my cat
take a drink
from the toilet,
from the sink,
from the frogspawn in the pond,
(of puddle water, he seems fond)
from my own glass,
from the drain,
from his fur, he licks the rain,
from the water washing veg,
from a plant pot in the hedge,
from the road, in a pot-hole

But never ever
ever ever
never never
from his bowl.
